There is a small town amidst the cornfields in Iowa called Burlington and that is where Stephen Coleman first found his love for music. He was trained in classical piano at a young age until his teacher fell ill after a year of lessons but he stayed with it and taught himself all that he knows by ear. In the third grade, he entered a talent show at his elementary school and gained serious recognition by the parents, teachers, and friends. They all told him he could make something of himself if he kept writing his own music and working hard toward his goals. At that moment, he knew what he wanted to do with his life and he wasn’t going to let anyone or anything stop him from reaching his goals of becoming a professional musician and producer.

In 2008 he emailed his cousin, Ross Lara, a demo by the name of Golden Heart Symphony, which he had written for Ross’ best friend who passed away the year before. They finished the track under the band name, SECTR 24. After a year of hard work, they had produced a whole LP (A Tattooed Melody,) gotten a music video, and acknowledgment from music peers and blogs around the country. They went on tour in ’09-10 up and down the east coast and had finally made a name for themselves. In the summer of 2010 they became roommates in Orlando, Florida and that is where they reside for now. The world in the music industry is an ocean and they have reached their breaking wave.

Stephen was always writing lyrics and producing his own rap songs on the side of SECTR 24 and as Ross got more opportunities in LA and Nashville, he kept writing. He decided that he was going to make an album in 6 months dedicated to his friends back home so he posted a blog about how he wanted to get everyone involved in his LP. Over 30 people messaged him with stories of their hardships and ideas for songs. He ended up with a collection of nine new songs and together they are The Breaking Wave and he is Read & Return.
